It is 20 years old: a completely unaccountable and out of control agency. Limit CBP to border regions: 8 miles max from LAND borders, and the fucking Great Lakes and oceans do not count.

That's the position that every Dem should take.

ICE has proven itself incapable of behaving like an agency in the federal government with sufficient checks and balances and it should be dismantled IMMEDIATELY. Gone. Reassign anyone who isn't a criminal and shitcan everyone else.
